Exostosis arising from carpal bones is rare and only a few cases have been reported till date. A 29 years old female came to the outpatient department with a localized swelling present on the dorsum of her right wrist since the past three years. On examining the patient clinically, a well-defined protuberance was observed over the dorsal aspect of the right wrist. CT report showed bony outgrowth over the dorsum of the capitate extending beyond the carpometacarpal joint. In surgical intervention, the mass was removed from the base, which grossly had an appearance of chondral origin. The biopsy report confirmed the diagnosis of exostosis (osteochondroma). Hence, excising the exostosis surgically led to achievement of adequate motion of the patient's wrist along with the additional cosmetic correction benefit.

Introduction: Osteochondroma usually occurs in long bones, whereas smaller bones are less commonly involved. Common locations include metaphysis of the proximal tibia, distal femur, distal tibia, distal fibula, proximal femur, and proximal humerus. Metacarpals are rarely affected. Case Report: A case report of a twenty 20-year-s old male presenting with swelling for five 5 years, which is gradually increasing in size over the hand and reached 4 cm ×x 3 cm ×x 2 cm; following clinical and radiological examination, the patient was diagnosed with osteochondroma of a fifth metacarpal head of the right hand. We did magnetic resonance imaging scan for confirmation and reported it as osteochondroma which was treated surgically with excision of swelling in total, and specimen sent for histopathology and osteochondroma was confirmed. Conclusion:Osteochondromas can rarely occur at unusual sites such as small bones of the hand and foot. Therefore, osteochondroma should be considered a differential diagnosis alongside other common tumours of the hand and foot, such as enchondroma (Olliers diseases). Keywords: Metacarpal, olliers disease, osteochondroma. Metacarpal, Osteochondroma, Olliers disease

“…Marginal excision is sufficient, although recurrence may appear for solitary osteochondromas of long bones. 21 Differential diagnosis include parosteal osteochondroma that is a subtype of exostosis with absence of direct communication with the host bone. 22 Osteocartilaginous loose bodies are easily radiologically diagnosed.…”

Osteochondromas, are the most common tumors of the long bones in children. Osteochondromas are extremely rare in the carpal bones. They are diagnosed in adult life, in almost all cases in the literature. We report a 7 year old boy, who presented with a hard mass on the dorsum of his hand, with decreased wrist movements. Radiological examination showed a calcified tumor of the second row of the carpal bones, with spherical shape and covered with cartilage. He was surgically treated with removal of a cartilaginous mass that was arising from the capitate. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of an osteochondroma.
